CHICAGO. March 25.-The large dining
room of the Palmer house was the scene Of
a tragedy at 2 o'clock this afternoon which
threw the guests into a tremOr Of excite
ment and caused a serious interruption to
them for time. Philip T. Bearling, one
OF the walters, who was discharged this
morning, entered the room, and, approach
ing Charles F. Jordan. the head waiter,
commenced demonstrating at his summary
discharge. Jordan pushed him away. This
exasperated Bearling. who, when he found
his words had no effect, hissed, II will
murder YOU" The next instant the pol
ished barrel of pistol flashed, and, before
any one could move, bullet entered the
head of Jordan. He had partially turned
away, and the ball entered under the right
ear. Guests carried Jordan to the room of
DR.. Stubbs, while in the confusion Bearling
succeeded in making his escape. Bearling
is large negro and easily recognized. He
is said to be d:sliked by the colored people,
and any one is liable to betray his place of
cOncealment.

Weakened His Case.

PHILADELPHIA, March 25.-As resul
of the publication in the Philadelphia
Times few weeks ago, in which it was
charged that Albert H. Hoecllley, then city
editor of the Press, had been the recipient
of $50 per week for the purpose of securing
the silence of that paper in the in
terest OF the gamblers, MIR. Hoeck-
ley brought criminal suit for
libel and civil suit for $50, OO0 damages
against the editor and publisher of the
Times. To-day Hoeckley's counsel notified
the district attorney and the editors of the
Times that his client had decided to with
draw the criminal suit and allow the case to
rest entirely upon the civil suit for DANA
ges. Mr.. Hoeckley has been until now
(although his resignation had been placed
in the hands of his superiors) merely sus-
pended from duty until an investigation
should establish his guilt OF innocence:s sbut
to morrow's Press will say editorially that
if Mr.. Hoeckley is innocent OF the charge
made against him, he has committed
grave, if not fatal error, in withdraw
ing his criminal suit and that his connec-
ton with the Press had ceased absolutely.

Outraged aud Murdered.

New. DIRK, March 25.-Louisa Hatfield
was found in hallway at New Bowery.
She had been outraged. She died later at
the hospital. George Benson. owner of a
saloon, found the woman III the hallway
unconscious. The saloon had not been
opened, and the private door leading to the
street was bolted on the inside. How the
woman got there is mystery. The saloon
keeper declares that he did not open the
doors of the saloon or private entrance.
The theory is that the woman was taken
into the house by some one inside last
night and either assaulted and struck on
the head with blunt instrument or fell
down stairs and received her injuries. Ben
son, Jr., was the last man in the house last
night. He says he closed the door and
bolted it on the inside. The elder Benson
says he came down stairs shortly after
O'Clock and the woman was not there.
He.N went down to the basement
for half an hour and when he came up the
stairs again found the woman. The police
traced the wOman'S movements up to mid
night, the time young Benson admits COM
ing home. The woman was formerly
Brooklyn school teacher. Benson with four
other young men occupied rooms on the
second floor. They all assert that the
woman was not in their rooms. The woman
was formerly refined but for long time has
been known as hard character. Young
Benson and his companions, Frank Scott.
Samuel and Joseph Stockin and George L.
Coleman were arrested.

The Enormous Extent to Which the
ass Privilege Has fseen Abused.
Special TO the Globe.
MADISON, Wis. March 25.--Both houses
of the legislature passed one of the best
days of the session to-day. In the assem-
bly, lengthy wrangle over the free pass
question was had in which the members
seemed to manifest more interest one way
or another than they have shown in previ-
Gus matters. The bill was one introduced
by Mr.. Taylor requiring the railroads to
furnish. in addition to their license fee,
full transportation to all members of the
legislature and the officers thereof, judges
of courts of record, state officers and Sher-
ifs. WnanS offered all amendment, which
was adopted, prohibiting the issuance of
trip passes at the request Of members. The
friends OF the bill argued that 1t would be
step toward abolshng the free pass nui
sance and maintained that if the companies
were compelled to provide the legislature
with free transportation it would relieve
members from all obligations in return for
favors granted. The opponents thought
that no discrimination in the matter should
be made and argued if any action was to be
taken in the matter passes should
be abolished entirely and no more
favorS shown to state officers than
to the people at large. The bill
was finally passed by a vote of 40 to 33, but
it is doubtful if it will work its way through
the senate. The members are pretty gen-
orally sick of the annoyance they are put to
on account of the free pass SYSTEM and to
show to what an extent it is carried it may
be mentioned that up to the present time
the ST. Paul company alone has issued 23,-
800 passes at the request of members, and
the other companies have been equally gen
erous. Many are modest enough to request
ANIMALS, several have asked transportation
to California and one man wanted pass
for himself and wife to Germany and back.
The senate passed a bill authorizing the
governor to prosecute the claims of the
state against.th United States. Assembly
bills were concurred in: Permitting votes of
school districts to decide whether free text
books shall be furnished pupils; inflicting
punishment of fifteen days imprisonment
for any parent deserting his family in deS-
titute circumstances; Incorporating the city
of Barron. Bills were indefinitely post
poned: Preventing the hiring of armed
detectives in this state; preventing the en-
ployment of children under IA years of age
in factories. The governor to-day vetoed
the bill making the wrongful taking of dogs
larceny on the grounds that it raised the
dog to dignity above other domestic ami
mails

CHICAGO, March 25.-Adam Ochs. ex-
chairman of the county board. and Daniel
Wren, prominent member of the present
board of commissioners, were ar
rested this evening. charged with
completely in the doodle" operations that
have left Cook county virtually bankrupt.
Bail was promptly furnished in each case,
Wren's bondsman being Col. Abner Tyler.
A capias was also issued for j. F. Van
Pelt, a noted eX-commssioner. He sent
word to the sheriff's Office that he would be
OH hand with bondsmen tomorrow morning.
Accordingly he was not taken into custody
tonight. Van Pelt is popularity supposed
to be the center of the combine. There have
been rumors for days past that he had
turned inforlner, involving many we'll
known persons outside of officials. The
fact that he has not been arrested, though
indicted gives color to the rumors concern
ing him, and has caused renewed conster-
nation among the suspects. whose number
is placed as high as fifty.
Indictments. it is understood, were re-
turned this evening against Elisha A. Robin
son. aWealthy grocer who has had great
numberiof county contracts for supplies,
and against c. L. Frey, warden of the
county intrmary. The two will probably
be arrested Tomorrow.

say. One of her fits of depression came on

ing turn. She made her husband and the
neighbors assist her in praying. Hogan's
